While the modern world continues to march toward a lithium-ion-powered future, China quietly continues to tighten its grip on the industry at every level. [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy China Builds Gigafactories Like It's a Bodily Function Alex Koyfman | Aug 13, 2023 Dear Reader, While the modern world continues to march toward a lithium-ion-powered future, China quietly continues to tighten its grip on the industry at every level. Just last week, Eve Energy, a China-based lithium battery-maker, announced that it had initiated the construction of its own kind of gigafactory in Kulim, a city in the Malaysian state of Kedah. [Eve energy] The factory, which comes at a cost of around half a billion dollars, will be part of a larger industrial park and focus on the production of 21700-format cylindrical lithium-ion batteries. [Eve energy] Once completed, this will be the 53rd such facility operated by Eve Energy. Construction is projected to take less than three years. âBy establishing this cylindrical battery manufacturing plant in Malaysia, we are demonstrating our commitment to competitiveness in the international market,â commented Lim Bee Vian, deputy CEO of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA). To the Chinese, "Competition" Is Just a Polite Word for Dominance The underlying truth here, of course, is more simple. Itâs not the Malaysians who are committed to competitiveness but rather the Chinese who remain committed to complete control of one of the most â if not the most â important tech sectors in operation today. Deng Xiaoping, who served as leader of the Chinese Communist Party up until 1992, was once quoted as saying: "To get rich is glorious." It was a belief he carried with him throughout his career as he laid much of the groundwork for China's modern industrial capacity. Part of that groundwork included an obsession with lithium, which started long before the lithium battery craze was anything more than an anecdote. [deng] As the Chinese Communist Party gradually learned to exploit the power of capitalism for its own good, a national policy of striving for dominance in lithium production from mining to end-product manufacture took shape. How to Collect Passive Income From Teslaâs EV Charging Tech Companies that build EV chargers are eligible for $7.5 billion in funding from the Inflation Reduction Act. But thereâs a catch⦠They MUST use Teslaâs charging technology in order to receive the funds. This is just another win in a series of victories for Elon Musk, whose goal is to make Teslaâs charging tech a national standard. But it also opens up a brand-new income stream for everyday Americans⦠One that allows ANYONE to pocket a few fractions of a dollar anytime an EV gets charged. [And you only need to take three simple steps to start collecting your own share of the spoils.]( Today, China has achieved many of its goals. It dominates in the battery production sphere, dominates in lithium refinement, and will likely also soon dominate in lithium mining to boot, thus completing its quest for full vertical integration. The painful truth that most Western onlookers will not face is that China isnât simply doing this out of the goodness of its heart or even out of good old-fashioned monetary greed. This Is How the CCP Weaponized Your Consumer Spending China knows a strategic advantage when it sees one, and now that even our biggest, most famous EV car brand â Tesla â is buying Chinese batteries, it's impossible to ignore. The only way out is to fight fire with fire and compete with China in battery production to at least achieve independence. Unfortunately, with the Chinese building a dozen factories for every one of ours, the brute force approach is precisely what they want us to adopt, as thatâs a war they know they can win. Our only viable plan of attack is therefore not in quantity but in quality. And that's the approach just about every major carmaker and battery-maker in the free world is researching. Right now, there are a number of next-gen battery designs in testing to be the replacement for the lithium-ion standard of today. One of them, perhaps the most promising of all, comes from Australia and puts everything youâve seen and heard about in the realm of rechargeable batteries to shame. This Pill Will âDefine the Next Decadeâ A new medical breakthrough smaller than the size of your pinkie is about to reshape human history. Because believe it or not, this tiny pill can eradicate every single sign and symptom of aging and disease... Which leaves you looking and feeling forever young. Donât believe it? [Check out this proof...]( Next-Gen Batteries That Will Change the Game These new batteries hold twice as much charge. They last 2â3 times as long. They donât catch fire spontaneously. Most dramatically of all, they charge up to 70 times as fast. An EV equipped with these batteries could literally be charged from empty to capacity in less time than it takes you to fuel your car at the gas pump. Best of all, these batteries require no dependence on Chinese lithium or any other Chinese-supplied elements. The key to these world-changing innovations is a material that itself is a marvel of science. One of the worldâs first materials engineered on a molecular level, it won its key researchers the Nobel Prize in Physics just 13 years ago. Today, itâs about to change the battery industry forever. Now, hereâs the important part that every investor needs to know: This isnât a Hail Mary. Get It Today on Your Online Brokerage Account The risk has already been minimized, as these batteries are off the drawing board and in early production right now as you read this. By next year, they could be on the shelves, powering common consumer devices like tablets and laptop computers. You can look around for this company, but I doubt youâll find it, even though itâs already trading on two North American exchanges. The reason is that itâs tiny â less than 1/1000th the size of some of the biggest names operating out of mainland China... Yet its product could render the whole lithium-ion industry obsolete by the middle of the decade. Iâve spent months researching this company and its groundbreaking product, and with the summer trading lows hitting the small caps and microcaps the hardest, this could be the best and last opportunity to really get in at pre-commercial valuations. You can wait for this company to get coverage from the big financial news media outlets... [Or you can learn everything you need to know about it right here, right now.]( Fortune favors the bold, [alex koyfman Signature] Alex Koyfman [[follow basic]Check us out on YouTube!]( His flagship service, Microcap Insider, provides market-beating insights into some of the fastest moving, highest profit-potential companies available for public trading on the U.S. and Canadian exchanges.
